New Year's Eve began, shopping centers, buildings and shops spurred by Mishur and Christmas toys, and garlands and decorations appeared on the streets. The whole world is preparing for Christmas and New Year's meeting!
It is difficult to imagine that somewhere else in other corners of our world the new year does not occur on the night of December 31 to January 1. Some cultures celebrate the beginning of the calendar year not at the Gregorian calendar. And in these countries, even 2019 may come!
In this selection there are 10 countries that do not celebrate the traditional New Year together with the whole world!
1 China
You too learn before the new year, what kind of animal is the eastern calendar comes? Completely popular signs, allowed dishes on the table, specific colors. However, in China, the New Year comes much later than the whole world, therefore the owner of the year comes later. Traditionally, this is the date of the second New Moon after December 21.
Celebrations last two weeks, in 2019 the new year will begin on February 5 and will end on March 2. China marks the new year's offensive very brightly, fireworks and lights are lit, festivals are held.
2 Korea
Together with the Chinese, the New Year is celebrated in South Korea, this holiday is called Sollal. Most recently, the tradition has passed the tradition of celebrating the holiday on January 1, but they do not change the traditional salvary. True, unlike the Chinese, they celebrate three days, mostly in the family circle. There is a special tradition to celebrate the New Year in the east of the country, to first see the rays of the New Year's Sun.
3 Bali
Two new years have been celebrated on this popular tourist island - one, as well as around the world, and the other in Balinese summer. Most often it is celebrated in the spring, on the day of equinox. By legend, in Indonesia, this calendar brought the Javanese king. It is used from 78 years old, so on the Balinese calendar on the island will come 1941 instead of 2019.
4 Iran.
In Iran, most of the population - Muslims, so they celebrate the new year almost three months later. The new year in Iran comes together with the first day of the first month of the Spring Favardine.
Also, Navruz (or Novruz - Iranian New Year) is celebrated in the Turkic peoples that use the solar calendar. This day usually coincides with the Day of Spring Equinox, and on March 21, it was announced during the Navruz.
5 Saudi Arabia
This Muslim country is famous for its strict prohibitions and laws. So, it is legally prohibited here to celebrate the New Year in the Gregorian calendar. It is impossible to sell a New Year's symbolism, express joy on January 1, and this also applies to tourists. The new year in this country is celebrated according to the date of the calendar of Hijra, which occurred in 622.
6 Israel
In Israel, the new year is also celebrated separately from the whole world, namely in the fall. This holiday is called Rosh Hashan, and he is celebrated traditionally in the new moon of the month of the Tishre. Therefore, the date of the holiday every year is different, for example, in 2019 the holiday will celebrate from September 29 to October 1. By the way, in Israel now there is 5779 years, and not 2018, as all over the world!
7 India
This multicultural country has a certain date of celebration of the New Year. Each state, and there are 29 of them, decides the date of the new year, depending on the religion of the inhabitants. At a minimum, the onset of the year is noted here about four times. On January 1, the traditional New Year began to be celebrated in India relatively recently, but is already popular among residents.
8 Vietnam
Vietnam New Year is also the most important and popular holiday. It is only noted in the period from the end of January to mid-February. In 2019, this date fell on February 5, like the Chinese and South Koreans.
The Vietnamese New Year is called TET and is celebrated for about a week. Traditionally, it is considered a family holiday, so even travelers seek to return home at this time.
9 Bangladesh
In this country, the Bengal New Year is celebrated, which is celebrated by Bengal, regardless of the professionally religion. These nations live in Bangladesh, West Bengal and some communities of India. Usually, the new year in Bangladesh and the locations of Bengaltsev is celebrated on April 14-15 - the date is based on the calculus of the Hindu Sunny calendar.
10 Ethiopia
Ethiopia, unlike the rest of the world, lives in the Julian calendar. Here the new year is celebrated on September 12 and is called Enkutatash. This is not only the new year's offensive, but also the end of the rainy season and harvest. By the way, the ethiopia is also different from the summer, because in the New Millennium the country entered only in 2008!
On our planet there are many nations that celebrate the new year's offensive at once. It's so amazing!

Every time the next new year was approaching, I was started to interest the question: "Where does it come from first? Where will his journey begun on earth?"
In the past two years, this question was not only interested in me, but, of course, could not compete with the "issue of the century": "When will the new millennium begins - January 1, 2000 or 2001?"
In fact, this issue contains several different issues. Some of them are related to physical phenomena, for example, when in this place on Earth end average sunny day December 31, 2001 or where the sun will take place on January 1, 2002?
In order to answer the first of the questions, it is necessary to find the easiest point on the Earth lying west of the dates change line. This is Cape Dezhneva on Chukotka (if not to take into account the lying little east of small islets). There it will happen for two minutes earlier than on the islands of Tonga, and ten minutes earlier than on the New Zealand Islands Chatham. To determine the point of the earliest sunrise, it is necessary to take into account the breadth and longitude of the point, its height above sea level, time of year (winter in the northern hemisphere and summer in southern), etc. For example, on January 1, 2000, the earliest sunrise according to the Greenwich Observatory occurred on the island of Catchal, which is included in the group of protected Nicobar Islands in the Bengal Gulf. Because of this, meeting the New Year there was no one, and the very first meeting took place on the top of the mountain of Pitt Island, which is part of the Chatham Islands group (Chatham) in subordination of New Zealand.

Another question is purely formal - where before all will come on January 1, 2002 according to the timely accepted time count. Before reasoning further, it is worth looking at a number of pictures. The most convenient of them is the map time belts in a cylindrical projection. The map is taken from the "educational atlas of the world" about 20 years ago (in fact, during this time it happened not too much changes, you can read about the most important things). It can be seen that the land is divided into - strips of approximately 15 ° wide in each of which a single time is established. Most often, the boundaries of time zones go on the borders of countries or their parts.
Very important item on this map is. It runs around 180 ° latitude, but it is very interesting and important for the issues under consideration. In the north, this line first deviates far to the East to get drunk by Chukotka, and then to the West, the ridge of Aleutian island stretching from Alaska. The line goes exactly in the 180th longitude, deviating to the East only knubled New Zealand.
I always thought. that the new year first comes to Chukotka, because it is located in the 12-hour zone, and since in Russia since the beginning of the 20th century dECORD TIME (shifted 1 hour ahead), then it is there that the first phenomenon of the new year happens.
But everything turned out not so simple.
The division of the world on time zone carries their quirks. So, for example, when in other places on the calendar, on January 2, on the two islands of the Pacific New Year, the new year is still coming. These are uninhabited islands Howland and Baker. Due to the fact that they are in the UTC-12 time zone, on them the new year begins later than all.
But the first to celebrate New Year's Eve inhabitants of Kiribati, Christmas and Line are beginning to celebrate. They have time zone utc + 14, so when the time in Hauland and Baker will show 11 hours, and on the calendar will be December 31, the clock on the island of Christmas is trying to eat an hour after midnight. January 2.
Despite the fact that there are no people in Hauland and Baker and only the coast guard of the United States of America can visit them, we can tell about these islands a lot of interesting things. First, it is worth noting that they belong to and are part of the wildlife rescue program.
Island Houseland
Hauland Island has a very interesting story. This block of land in the middle of the ocean opened in 1822 Georg Bradley Worth, who was the captain of the whaling ship "Oeno". At that time, the captain called the island in honor of himself, but after 6 years he was once again opened another captain, Daniel Mekreni, who gave the island the name of the owner of the vessel - Minera. Well, the third captain, who opened this land, became Geo Emery Necher. It happened in 1842, then the island, and received the name Hauland - so the name of the sailor who had noticed unfamiliar shores.
The first documented settlement was formed on the island in 1857. At that time, he was very valuable because of the possibility of obtaining guano on it. After all, as the law states, if the island is not in any jurisdiction, except, does not have owners and the local population, but there are guano deposits on it, then any American can own the land. But in 1886, the British arrived on the island stated that the right to the territory belongs to them. Then the British settlers have already appeared in Haulende, who mined Guano for 5 years.
The argument for the land was finally resolved only in 1936 after the colonization of the island of America. With the dawn of long-distance Aviation Hauland was a Pacific Strategic Base. Therefore, in the 37th year, the runway began to build here. She was intended for the now famous flyer Amelia Erhart, who wanted to fulfill its round-the-world flight. However, the journey ended in tragic - Erhart disappeared in the vicinity of Hauland.
Then during World War II, the island bombed the Japanese. When the war ended, all attempts to settle Hauland were unsuccessful. The main problem was the absence of fresh sources. Make an island attractive for tourists also failed. Local attractions are the ruins of Itascauna, airplane wreckage and Amelia Erhart Lighthouse. Then Howlend decided to recognize uninhabited and make a natural reserve.
Baker Island
The island also opened three different captains three times. He received his name in honor of the third captain - Michael Baker. Unlike its predecessors, Captain Baker decided to officially make the island with his property. Until now, the grave of one of his vessel's sailors remained on the island.
In 1855, the island bought a guano mining company. Then the same story is repeated with Baker Island as Hauland: After the claims of His UK, in 1935 America colonizes the land and sends its volunteers who originate the settlement called Mayerton. By the beginning of the world, the runway is built, but, together with the settlement itself, it gradually comes to run. And in 1974, Baker becomes the National Wildlife Reserve.
Places where the new year is celebrated by the first December 27th, 2014
When we still have the latest feverish preparations for the new year meeting, some residents of the Earth have not only met him and have fun to have been well, but by this time they even managed to relax and sleep. For there are places in the world where the new year is met much earlier than with us.
Under the cut, you will see those places where the new year is first on our planet.
1. Traditionally, the first will meet the new 2015 year at Kiribati. And if more specifically, on the linear islands that are located east than other islands of this country. In 1994, one of the presidential candidates has promised to citizens that if he defeats the election, it will make that Kiribati will be the first to celebrate the New Year around the world. He won and kept the word: suffered a demarcation line of time (the conventional line on the clock zone map). From that time, Kiribati is divided into three time zones, and in the easternmost of them, midnight occurs at 14 o'clock earlier than in London. (Photo: DS355 / Flickr.com).
2. In the same time zone as Kiribati, is tokelau, which includes a group of islands consisting of three coral atolls: Ataf, Nukunono and Fakofo. This is a dependent area from New Zealand. The change in the time zone here happened quite recently, in 2011, and the main reason for this was the problem of interaction in contacts with New Zealand, since before the island was on the other side of the demarcation line of the time. (Photo: Haanee Naeem / Flickr.com).
3. For an hour later, the New Year will meet the residents of Samoa. In 2011, there was also a change in the time zone, the date on December 30, 2011 in the Samoa calendar was absent. This was done to better interact and develop cooperation with Australia and New Zealand. What is interesting, the previous change in the time zone was held in 1892 in order to fit the time to California. (Photo: Savai'i Island / Flickr.com).
4. At the same time, as in Samoa, the New Year inhabitants of Tonga - Islands, located in one third of the path between New Zealand and Hawaii, south of Samoa. (Photo: Pintxomoruno / Flickr.com).
5. The following will meet the new year inhabitants of chat rooms. This small archipelago, which consists of two inhabited islands - chats and Pitt. Other small islands have the status of reservations and, mostly, are not available for both residents of the islands and tourists. What is interesting, the island of chats have its own time zone, which is distinguished by 45 minutes (less) from the time of time in New Zealand. (Photo: Phil Pledger / Flickr.com).
